A Himachal resident left a high‑paying corporate role to run a homestay in the mountains, citing irregular earnings despite a ₹24 LPA salary.
A young woman from Himachal Pradesh has resigned from a corporate position that paid an annual salary of ₹24 lakh to start a homestay in the state’s mountainous region.
She explained that despite the high salary, her monthly earnings often fell short of ₹1 lakh, prompting her to seek a more sustainable livelihood.
The new venture involves converting her family property into a guest‑friendly accommodation, aiming to attract tourists seeking authentic hill‑station experiences while providing her with a steadier income stream.
